Air Sensor Training: Building a Community Air Monitoring Network
Tracking California will provide an overview of the process involved in developing a community air monitoring network, based on our experience partnering with Comite Civico del Valle to establish a monitoring network that provides real-time information on particulate matter levels in Imperial County. The presentation will highlight a parallel process to the 14 elements laid out by the California Air Resources Board’s (CARB) community air monitoring plan and additional considerations from our “Guidebook for Developing a Community Air Monitoring Network.”
Wildland Fires: Towards Improved Understanding and Forecasting of Air Quality Impacts—A Workshop
The workshop will convene experts in wildfires, atmospheric chemistry, climate, meteorology, and health together with key decision makers from public health, emergency management, air quality management, and other relevant areas.
